New upside down catfish - ALL BLACK - ID ?

[Gar88]

I have a pair in my 185g SA/CA cichlid tank... very active and playfull certainly better than the 4 marbled clarias catfish i had... like Nick said.... if you have large enuf tank and make enuf rock settings for them as they are territorial, you should be fine

It went straight into one of my 75's, plenty of room to cruise around - I wasn't sure if they were likely to "play" with one another, or be more territorial. I will pass on the second one then, good to know.
Thanks!
PS - I love marbled clarias - too bad I can't get any !

i had six of them marbled.... gave the 4 of them a very huge piranha pond at ma cousins and kept only two of them.... they grew from say 3" to 10" in 3 mnths!!! i know they grow but at that rate... they were the only things visible in ma community tank at my restaurant... saw them today and they having a great place to live....
